To me Kremer is the Chris Tillman of the 2020's. Mostly stunk in his early MLB chances, started to figure it out around when the team got good, and has become a reliable, crafty, good but not great pi

Yeah, he could move to the planet Earth where starters who qualify for the ERA title and throw to a 100 ERA+ are no. 3 starters, as opposed to the fantasyland where they’re not.

Saw this on Facebook and thought it was funny.

Thanks, Dean, we needed that.  Baz was almost as good, but not quite.  

Also, I’m super glad for Dean that Cano kept those runners from scoring.  Dean deserved that, the way he pitched.  
 

That was fun to watch, nice pitch mix. Can’t believe he didn’t miss a start.

Great start. 

That’s the frustrating thing about him; he can have a start like that but also not make it out of the 4th. 

He has as much talent as any pitcher on our staff. It's all about consistency and hopefully we'll see more of "good Dean" moving forward. His pitching recently has been really encouraging.

I think he is the most underrated player on this team. 

Each time I think he may have really settled in, he’ll blow up a start. Hyde seems to consistently rave about him this year.

Even though he hasn’t quite stepped into mid rotation caliber, he does bring value and I could see him really harnessing his stuff at one point in his career.

Yea I think that’s right. Progress isn’t always linear.  But I think he is progressing nicely and seemingly a bit under the radar.

Helluva start by Kremer. Typical bulldog Kremer outing. He has a knack for doing this in Boston too. 

He’s our game 4 SP in an ALDS series, and a possible relief option in a wild card series.

Kudos to Dean. Especially after that forearm bruise. 

ALDS ?? good to see someone staying positive around here.

In a 3 game Wild Card Series we get Burnes, Eflin, and Suarez going. We should have Grayson, Kremer, Povich, Webb, and Coloumbe, in the pen to help cover innings. 

Offensively we will have back Westburg and Urias. Maybe Mounty and Kjerstad. 

We are ok. Just gotta hit.

I’ve been waiting all year for Kremer to get on some kind of a roll, and it seems he’s finally on one.   In his last 6 starts, he’s thrown 5 quality starts, throwing 34.2 innings to a 2.62 ERA.  However, the O’s have only won 3 of those 6 starts.

Kremer is going to be one of those guys that we as posters were always looking to upgrade over, but when he's gone... we'll miss his production.  He's a solid #3.5 SP on a contender.  

He gives us a chance to win most nights.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      The Orioles need to hit a flare base hit every now and then. Said this the other day during the game thread. Jeter was the master of wearing flare during his career

      And we’ve had different defensive coordinators during that time frame, Harbaugh is the constant yet again.

      I would add that Mountcastle and Urias were also losses to the offense.  Throw in a couple of slumps to our other regulars, creating 4-5 weak spots in the offense, and that's a lot to overcome.  I don't discount the mental part of hitting, but I do think most of our problems are directly linked to the rash of injuries we've suffered.

      Just my opinion. ZiPS projects him for a .708 OPS next year and I'd bet on the under. I think he's a .230/.295/.395 hitter with a below average glove. A Rio Ruiz type of player.

      We have to keep Irvin "pumped up."  When he's "deflated" he's just no good.  🤣

      There just seems to be some sort of disconnect between upper management, coaching and the players right now. Do I know that for sure? Obviously no. But with the dropoff we've seen in offensive production something is off here. They literally have been mediocre since the All Star break. And the only big loss on the offensive side is Westburg.

      There are no answers, only Zuul. But seriously, I think the issue at play here is we look at the body of work of guys like Eloy, Slater, O'Hearn, Rivera, and (to a lesser extent) Soto, you see where the holes are. I get that O'Hearn was thrust into 1B near FT due to the Mountcastle injury, but that didn't explain Hyde from playing O'Hearn in the OF when he is one of the worst defensive OFers on this team. Right now, this team is very much ailing. Ramon coming back will definitely help spell the need for O'Hearn to be a 1B by maybe letting Rivera play over there.  We need to get back to a point where O'Hearn is only hitting against righties and is playing sparingly in the field. Eloy is a liability at this point. I was a proponent of seeing what mechanical tweaks they could make similar to what they did w/ Hicks (and even O'Hearn!) and they did catch lightning in a bottle maybe due to excitement/adrenaline and BABIP being unsustainably high, but right now his flyballs aren't carrying and his groundballs aren't finding holes, so there's probably a reason why Chicago is saying, "Haha, told you so!" This team is in freefall offensively, at this point...just give the ABs to Mayo. You can't simultaneously say, "He needs to make adjustments!" and then let him have 5 ABs over 5 games. That isn't a way to grow a player. Not everybody can be a part time player and be effective off the bench/sparingly. Kjerstad has shown an ability to hit lefties in the minors as well as in the majors (albeit in very limited time, he his 4 for 10 against them). Let the kid play. Slater has fallen off a cliff, but at least he's a solid defensive OFer I get it, nobody is going to solve the offensive woes of this team when it comes to the rookies/young guys. Mayo, Holliday, Kjerstad, even Cowser...they're all still adjusting. The change needs to come from the main stays. Now, Adley is starting to hit, Gunnar is back on a hitting binge, but this lineup desperately needs some consistent production from Tony to go along with it because right now way too much pressure is being put on the bottom of the lineup and the young guys. And I'm not convinced Westy solves any of those issues as wrist injuries are a beast to bounceback from quickly.
